In here, life is beautiful! Expect the unexpected as New York City’s favorite artists turn classic theater on its head! With songs, scenes, and a fabulous queen, you’ve never seen CSC quite like this. Join us for an evening that is part show, part party, and scripted with the help of our audience. This year, be a part of the fun as we take on the work of iconic pair John Kander and Fred Ebb. Be ready for high kicks, jazz hands and madcap twists on your favorite tunes from the legendary duo.

Classic Stage Company’s Associate Board hosts the third annual Classics Gone Mad! to raise funds supporting the theater’s audience development, community outreach programs and ALL THAT JAZZ!

Our mad event concludes with an over-the-top singalong at a local Speakeasy. SHHH…there are even more surprises joining us at the piano.
